A poll......

I purchased my E-1 and E-5 and about 2/3 of my lenses and accessories from my local camera store, which unfortunately went out of business about 18 months ago. The other 1/3 of my lenses and accessories were purchased online from several of the well-known New York stores.

In my film days (OM-1N & OM-4T), it was about 50-50 or even 40-60. I had relatively less money to spend back then, but I still went to my local store when I could.
